Missoula Fishing Report

The weather around Missoula has made a turn that should bring the rivers down in a few days. However if we get a lot of rain over the next few days all bets are off.

*Disclaimer*– I can’t predict the weather or what the rivers will do.

So here is a fishing report for the next few days: Go to Harper’s,Beavertail, or Frenchtown pond. The chartreuse powerbait fished on 30 pound braid seems to be the ticket. Fish it deep (4 to 8 inches off the bottom) or under a great big red and white “indicator”. A dual rig of crawlers and corn (nibblets not creamed) is also producing, especially in the mornings. These fish are still adapting to their new environment, so treat ’em gently.
